Hi
Has anyone made a fibreglass seat pan before. I have looked it up on the web, it's easy enough.

Hi John Thanks for the responce.Smart a??.  I was more after info on what materal e.g alloy foil, blue tape, glade wrap. to cover the bike frame to make the seat pan. do you use wax or is their somthing else as a release agent for when you remove the glass. Just someone that has done this type of job before. cheers Nev |

Thanks for the offer HJ.... I have a idea that might work and not cost alot if it doesn't. I will make it out of 3 ply wood and expander foam. cut it to shape and use this as the mould.
cheers
Nev.
P.S already done the wood part.
